[edit] Why is this name spelled with a 'j'?

can anyone tell me why this word is spelled with a J? Kljenni 23:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Why not? So do Jesus and Jehovah. It is common in transliteration to change י (yod) to "j". In many European languages "j" still retains a 'y' sound. Khirad 14:38, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] American Culture

Jehoshaphat was a king of Judah. I wonder the name seems famous in American culture which is why his name is occaisionally mentoned? 124.107.237.135 07:00, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, this may seem trivial, like a joke, but shouldn't some mention be made on the origins of the American expression "jumpin' Jehosaphat"? I agree with anonymous user. Put something in on the origin of this historical phrase. Khirad 14:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The name reference in the name is missing!

I'm shocked to see this blatant omission of the name of the god of the Bible referred to the the meaning of the name. I will correct this oversight GabrielVelasquez (talk) 20:23, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
